Simulations of expected temperature rises obtained in the ex-vivo liver tissue performed using non-perfused and non-linear KZK model. TOP: Temperature plots were simulated for a single continuous wave 10 s sonication at the transducer’s focal depth of 51.7 mm penetrating 20 mm into tissue. The solid red curve represents high liver attenuation, the dotted red curve average liver attenuation and the blue, low liver attenuation. BOTTOM (Rows 2–4): Temperature maps were simulated using the same parameters at low (row 2), average (row 3) and high (row 4) liver attenuation. Left Column: 6.34 MPa, Middle Column: 7.27 MPa, Right Column: 8.19 MPa peak-to-peak acoustic pressures.
